For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 14, 2014

no time to lose

I think its going to take you longer than a day, Elizabeth… ;)

I hope she’s not destroying the yard.

I hope she doesn’t fall in!

I hope she knows Chinese!

It keeps her out of trouble until she gets bored.

Its not the goal Michael, its the journey (to the center of the earth).

Go for it kid !!!!! 8^)

I remember trying that as a kid. I think we got about three feet down before we gave up. We were in “the field” near our neighborhood, so no one’s yard got ruined.

Actually if they dug straight down through the middle of the earth they would end up at 43.54 degrees south Latitude 79.54 east Longitude. Or somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean near French Southern & Antarctic Lands.

That’s the spirit, Lizzie!

Paul M Marion: For me, it would be the eastern tip of the Amsterdam-Naturaliste sea mount. I had a geology professor who said, “If you dig deep enough, you will find water.” He didn’t appreciate my saying, “yeah, the Indian Ocean.”

The framing of the panels makes it look like Michael is naked. Anybody else see that?

Not that I make it a point to look at naked boys or anything!

It’s better than having her try to walk around the world because somebody told her it was round. At least she’s staying in one place.

Well if you could get to the other side,if you are in the USA you would end up in Australia

Digging to China was always a suggestion my mom gave us when we needed something to do.

Back when they were drilling the Mohole, I predicted that, if “successful”, they would bring in a volcano looking like a red version of an oilfield gusher.

Most of the US is opposite the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia.

I saw a map of the world inverted, ie who is opposite who.The only significant land areas opposite each other were a large part of China and a large part of Argentina.

cute, dumb, but cute.
